TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates generally to prefabricated equipment enclosures requiring environment control. More specifically the present invention relates to maintenance and servicing of environmental control systems for prefabricated equipment enclosures.

BACKGROUND

Prefabricated equipment enclosures housing various electrically powered systems can be manufactured at a factory with various pieces of electrical equipment installed. For example a prefabricated equipment enclosure may be a configured to house part or all of systems such as an electrical distribution center (EDC), a modular data center (MDC), an integrated power skid, an integrated switchboard, a switchboard section or cubicle or the like. Many of these systems require environmental control for removing heat buildup. Additionally, these systems can be used to maintaining temperature, humidity, and/or pressure within specifications of the enclosure housed equipment. Environmental control systems can include heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) units, and/or other types of heat exchangers. Additionally, industry continues to trend toward smaller more compact enclosures and/or additional equipment housed in existing enclosures. With this trend servicing and maintenance of the environmental control systems become more difficult.

Accordingly, a need exists for improved systems, devices, and methods for allowing access for maintenance and servicing of the environmental control systems of prefabricated equipment enclosures.

In still other embodiments, the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 may be constructed from a 10 foot high□cube ISO shipping container having an outside height of approximately 2.60 meters, and outside width of approximately 2.44 meters, and an outside length of approximately 3.00 meters. In still other embodiments, other types of enclosures may be modified to produce the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102. In still other embodiments, the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 may be stick□built structure (e.g. first assembled using individual components). Additionally, enclosures may be built on site configured for like functionality to the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102.

The prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 includes a left HVAC swingout access door 104A, a left HVAC front access door 106A, and a right HVAC front access door 106B. A right HVAC swingout access door 104B is hidden from view in FIG. 1. Access doors 104A-B and 106A-B including grating to allow free air flow to external air sides of the HVAC units. The grating also provides security from unauthorized access to the HVAC units. The prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 includes a left side access door 108A configured to allow personnel to install and maintain equipment housed within. The equipment may include data center equipment such as servers and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), data patch panels, or the like.

The prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 may be configured to be embedded within a larger electrical distribution center (EDC), a modular data center (MDC), an integrated power skid, an integrated switchboard, a switchboard section, a switchboard cubicle, or the like. The prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 may also be configured to be positioned within a skid mounted system configured to be positioned on one or more semi-trailers for shipping. Mounting brackets, such as bracket 110A and bracket 110B, may be used to secure the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 to the skid mounted system or in the final facility of installation.

FIG. 2 depicts a mechanical diagram 200 illustrating a second three-dimensional view the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 is depicted with the left HVAC swingout access door 104A open exposing a left HVAC unit 202A, and the right HVAC swingout access door 104B open exposing a right HVAC unit 202B. As such, the external air sides of the left HVAC unit 202A and the right HVAC unit 202B may be easily accessed from outside the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102. Additionally, the left HVAC front access door 106A and the right HVAC front access door 106B may each be opened to expose the internal air sides of the left HVAC unit 202A and the right HVAC unit 202B respectively.

The left HVAC unit 202A is mounted using a frame arrangement to an internal door 204A. The left internal door 204A is configured to be substantially stationary with respect to the left HVAC swingout access door 104A. An angle of a normal vector associated with the left HVAC swingout access door 104A is approximately 90 degrees to a normal vector associated with the left internal door 204A. The right HVAC unit 202B is mounted also using a frame arrangement to a right internal door 204B. The right internal door 204B is configured to be substantially stationary with respect to the right HVAC swingout access door 104B. An angle of a normal vector associated with the right HVAC swingout access door 104B is approximately 90 degrees to a normal vector associated with the right internal door 204A.

The HVAC unit 202A is wired with controls and power umbilical cables near a pivoting edge (e.g. one or more hinges) of the left HVAC swingout access door 104A and left internal door 204A (i.e. swinging frame). Power cables coming from a main distribution panel inside the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 pass through an internal partition wall (not shown in FIG. 2). The power cables then loop down and back up to pass through the swinging frame and into the back of the HVAC unit 202A. There is enough extra length in each loop to allow for the full range of motion of the swinging frame. Controls wiring is routed in a similar manner. The power cables and the controls wiring are also not shown in FIG. 2. Power cables and controls wiring for the right HVAC unit 202B are routed in a similar manner.

When the left HVAC swingout access door 104A and the left internal door 204A (i.e. the swinging frame) are in the closed position (as shown in FIG. 1), the left internal door 204A sits parallel to the internal partition wall. The internal partition wall forms a boundary between internal air and external air to the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 that separates the inside from the outside. Double seals between the internal partition wall and the left internal door 204A provide additional insulation between the internal air and the external air allowing the HVAC unit 202A to work more efficiently. One set of weather seal is around the air supply and return openings. The other seal follows the outer edge of the left internal door 204A each swinging frame. Additionally, the HVAC unit 202A has seals insulating it with the left internal door 204A. The right HVAC unit 202B has a similar weather seal arrangement.

FIG. 3 depicts a mechanical diagram 300 illustrating a top view of the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. A door swing radius 304A is depicted for the left HVAC swingout access door 104A and a door swing radius 304B is depicted for the right HVAC swingout access door 104B.

A door swing radius 308A is depicted for the left side access door 108A. The prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 also includes a rear access door 302A having a door swing radius 302B. The door swing radiuses 308A and 302B are also each approximately 90 degrees.

The internal partition wall 310 (previously disclosed in the FIG. 2 description) separates the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 into an HVAC section and a datacenter section. The HVAC units 202A and 202B are housed in the HVAC section while the internal doors 204A and 204B are in the closed position as depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. The datacenter section houses server racks 312A, 312B, and 312C.

When there is a need to service an HVAC unit 202A or 202B from their inward facing side (which may be only a few inches from the neighboring HVAC unit) the given unit mat be swung out to expose that area. Both HVAC units 202A and 202B may be swung to the “open” service position independently of each other.

FIGS. 4A and 4B depict mechanical diagrams 400A and 400B illustrating three-dimensional cutaway views of a portion of the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The internal partition wall 310 is also depicted without the HVAC units 202A and 202B, the HVAC swingout access doors 104A and 104B, and the internal doors 204A and 204B. Partial hinges 402A-402C are depicted for securing the left internal door 204A and the left HVAC swingout access door 104A to the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102.

FIG. 5A depicts a mechanical diagram 500A illustrating a left multi-door arrangement 502A for the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The left multi-door arrangement 502A includes the left HVAC swingout access door 104A and the left internal door 204A The left internal door 204A is configured to be substantially stationary with respect to the left HVAC swingout access door 104A. The left internal door 204A is further configured for mounting the left HVAC unit 202A. An angle of a normal vector associated with the left HVAC swingout access door 104A is approximately 90 degrees to a normal vector associated with the left internal door 204A. In some embodiments, the angle of the normal vector may be less than 90 degrees. For example, the angle of the normal vector may be between 70 degrees and 90 degrees. In other embodiments, the angle of the normal vector may be greater than 90 degrees. For example, the angle of the normal vector may be between 90 degrees and 110 degrees.

FIG. 5B depicts a mechanical diagram 500B illustrating a right multi-door arrangement 502B for the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The right multi-door arrangement 502B includes the right HVAC swingout access door 104B and the right internal door 204B. The right internal door 204B is configured to be substantially stationary with respect to the right HVAC swingout access door 104B. The right internal door 204B is further configured for mounting the right HVAC unit 202B. An angle of a normal vector associated with the right HVAC swingout access door 104B is approximately 90 degrees to a normal vector associated with the right internal door 204B. In some embodiments, the angle of the normal vector may be less than 90 degrees. For example, the angle of the normal vector may be between 70 degrees and 90 degrees. In other embodiments, the angle of the normal vector may be greater than 90 degrees. For example, the angle of the normal vector may be between 90 degrees and 110 degrees.

The multi-door arrangements 502A and 502B form swing out frames when secured to the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102. While in the closed position, the HVAC units 202A and 202B and their supporting structures are fully contained within the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102. The front areas of the HVAC units 202A and 202B are unobstructed and fully operational with the multi-door arrangement 502A and 502B in the closed position. When there is a need to service either HVAC unit 202A or 202B from its outward facing side, the grating covering the given HVAC unit's side panels may be removed.

The multi-door arrangements 502A and 502B comprise hollow structural section (HSS) rectangular steel tubes that support the HVAC units 202A and 202B and frame out supply air vents and return air vents. The multi-door arrangements 502A and 502B are supported by heavy□duty hinges and pivot off a steel column that is integrated into the structure of the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102. Side walls of the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 are cut back to allow the HVAC units 202A and 202B to swing out from the internal partition wall 310. This HVAC section is open on three sides for outside airflow and so grating is installed to block unapproved access to the units. The grating at the sides are fully framed and bolted on to allow removal of the HVAC units 202A and 202B for servicing. This side grating is held by a steel angle frame that is welded to the multi-door arrangements 502A and 502B. Consequently, the each side grating moves with the multi-door arrangements 502A and 502B as they swing out.

The multi-door arrangements 502A and 502B are configured to be opened and closed by hand and are secured in the closed position from inside the datacenter section. The datacenter section may require key□card access and/or other keyed access. This prevents exposing the server racks 312A, 312B, and 312C to theft through the lower return vents and also secures the internal doors 204A and 204B tightly against the internal partition wall 310. While in the closed position, exteriors of the HVAC units 202A and 202B are protected by gratings that would have to be unbolted in order to get inside the HVAC section.

FIG. 6 depicts a mechanical diagram 600 illustrating a frame arrangement 602 for the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, instead of being modified the prefabricated equipment enclosure 102 may be full assembled using the frame arrangement 602 or the like (i.e. stick built).

The methods, systems, and devices disclosed herein for allowing access for maintenance and servicing of environmental control systems of prefabricated equipment enclosures may be applied anywhere there is a need to service equipment that has prohibited an otherwise more efficient use of space. This swing□out arrangement may be implemented with not only environmental control systems (e.g. HVAC units), but also switchgear, transformers, entire data racks, and anything else that would be structurally mounted and only requires simple electrical hook□up through an umbilical arrangement. In summary, these methods, systems, and devices may be leveraged to push the boundaries of space□efficiency in prefabricated data centers, power equipment centers, and many other modular electrical systems.
